Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze how the Pension System, Child Allowance, Child Support Allowance, and Public Assistance System are set to alleviate the income security of women. The study examines the inter-system analysis as well as the coverage of these four systems, focusing on "positioning of women" and "the meaning of income security." The results of this study are as follows: First, the women covered in the income security system are in fact individuals who slipped out of the patriarchal model. That is, even if they are separated from the patriarchal model, these women are still carrying out the role of wife or mother based on the sex role model. Second, the four systems, the range of recipients, the system purpose, the reason for security, the benefit level each had its own peculiar structure and coverage, and the continuity between systems could not be found. Consequently, this shows the defect of income security and the exclusion of particular types of women from the income security system.
